00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:11.039
This isn't have me if a master, and don't craft me.
2
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:18.960
This is Michael Cohen and you're listening to the one
3
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.280
and only Maya Culpa podcast right here on the mighty
4
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:23.519
might just Touch Network.
5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.440
So look for all future episodes of.
6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.039
Our show behind the blue banner icon. Let me say
7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.600
it again, the blue banner icon. And thanks to you,
8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.960
we've now exceeded more than five hundred million downloads to date.
9
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.759
So thank you for that. But now for the news. Look,
10
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.920
there are moments in American history when the curtain doesn't
11
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.679
just slip, it collapses, when the machinery of power grinds
12
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.439
and sparks, and for a split second, a split second,
13
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:56.600
you see the gears inside rusted bloodstain turning exactly the
14
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.600
way you always feared they did. And what we're living
15
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.799
through right now, this sudden, chaotic and politically radioactive release
16
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.000
of Jeffrey Epstein's emails is one of those moments. And
17
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.879
trust me, I say this is someone who spent more
18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.040
than a decade inside the engine room with a man
19
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.680
now pretending he wants truth and transparency. Because when Donald
20
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:25.359
Trump starts talking about document releases, someone is lying, someone
21
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.200
is panicking, and someone is about to get crushed under
22
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.079
the weight of the very secrets they tried to bury.
23
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.079
And let me be clear, Epstein's shadow has always loomed
24
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.480
over the powerful. It's the shadow of access, of impunity,
25
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:46.000
of doors that ordinary people don't even know exist. And
26
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:53.439
for decades it was protected by a bipartisan mote Democrats, Republicans, CEOs, presidents,
27
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:58.640
prime ministers, billionaires, financiers, and every hangar on who wanted
28
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.840
proximity to a man who trafficked influence the same way
29
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.760
he trafficked children. But now the mode is draining, the
30
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.639
emails are leaking, and the political establishment is scrambling like
31
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.919
cockroaches caught in a fluorescent light. And the loudest scrambling
32
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.080
of all, well, it's actually coming from our president.
33
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:22.000
You see.
34
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.960
You wouldn't know it from the press conferences, the late
35
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.479
night truth social meltdowns, or the carefully staged manage I'm
36
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.560
the real transparency president routine. But inside this White House, yeah,
37
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.520
I still call it his because the Trump people are
38
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.080
running it like a fiefdom, not a democracy. They are
39
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.560
in full blown crisis mode. So you got to ask
40
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.919
yourself why, and the answer because the first batch of
41
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.520
Epstein emails that slipped out wasn't supposed to slip at all.
42
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.039
They were supposed to be curated, sanitized, released in a
43
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.680
way that preserved the mythology that Trump has been hawking
44
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.319
for years, that he was just some guy who knew
45
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.439
Epstein like everyone else. Except here's the problem. The emails, Well,
46
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.479
they tell a little bit of a different story, one
47
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:17.520
that has I don't know, introductions, favors, meetings, travel arrangements,
48
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.039
and overlapping networks that Trump never wanted the public to see.
49
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.439
Here's the reality twisted part. For the first time in
50
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.240
his political life, Trump is right now facing a rebellion,
51
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.199
not from Democrats, not from the media, not from prosecutors,
52
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.840
but actually from his own base. MAGA influenced far right
53
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.599
activists and even a few Fox friendly Republicans are blasting
54
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:49.199
him for holding back the full Epstein file release. For example,
55
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.120
Marjorie Taylor Green, who has practically turned conspiracy into a
56
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.240
form of performance art she herself, is accusing Trump of
57
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:03.599
protecting elites, ran Paul Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, I mean many,
58
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:09.280
many people, including multiple senators who usually bowed before Trump
59
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.159
like he's some I don't know monarch are suddenly calling
60
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:19.079
for full transparency. This, my friends, is the nightmare scenario
61
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:24.000
that Trump never anticipated. The mob he built now wants
62
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.279
a bigger sacrifice than he's willing to make. And how
63
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.959
does Trump respond when cornered when I don't know, with
64
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.959
the same instincts that eyewitnessed for years, He lashes out,
65
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.279
He accuses, he creates enemies that didn't exist five minutes earlier.
66
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.279
And he

orders his Attorney General, Pam Bondy, a person
67
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.720
who's loyalty to Trump predates her loyalty to justice, to
68
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.759
go and investigate every single Democrat whose name appears in
69
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:59.399
even the faintest proximity to Epstein, people like Richardson, Mitchell,
70
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.319
BARACKO Obama. We're talking about Bill Clinton, You're talking about
71
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.759
Larry Summers. I mean, you're talking about everyone. You see,
72
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.600
it doesn't matter whether there's evidence. Trump doesn't want justice.
73
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.000
He wants revenge at scale. He wants to change the
74
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.680
storyline from why won't Trump release the documents to look
75
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.000
at these diary look at these damn democrats.
76
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:25.560
You see.
77
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:31.720
It's the same trick that he's used his entire career deflect, deny, destroy,
78
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.199
But BONDI isn't stopping with the Epstein Theater. Oh no,
79
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.959
fuck no, She's now suing California over its redistricting map
80
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:47.040
while ignoring, completely ignoring Texas for doing the exact same thing,
81
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.040
or almost the exact same thing. You see, the hypocrisy
82
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.639
isn't subtle. It's a billboard with a kneon arrow that's
83
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.399
pointed directly to the White House. This DOJ isn't operating
84
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.079
is a department of justice. It's a department of vengeance, obedience,
85
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:05.720
and political warfare.
86
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.360
Why do I say.
87
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.639
That, Well, as if it's not enough, Trump's orbit is
88
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:16.240
preparing its next soldier, and that that's Lindsey Halligan. You see,
89
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.439
she's Trump's former lawyer, an election conspiracy evangelist, and now
90
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.879
now she's the potential US attorney in Virginia. Well, I
91
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.000
say potential because right now she's not even supposed to
92
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.639
be there. Her one hundred and twenty days have expired.
93
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.160
And the problem, the problem is it is now before
94
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.639
the court on whether she can stay or not, with
95
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.560
most people saying that she's got to go. And why
96
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.040
it's a problem, Well, because she herself has signed off
97
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.720
on the case against both James Comy as well as
98
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.360
Letitia James. This is the problem and what we're watching,
99
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.639
my friends, is a coordinated legal insurgency, one that's meant
100
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:04.079
to read shaped the justice system into a weapon, one
101
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.519
that is meant to erase accountability, one that is meant
102
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.519
to protect Trump by burying everyone else. Which brings me
103
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.879
to our guest, Michael Popak. He is he Poppak.
104
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.240
He's not just a lawyer.
105
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.839
He is one of the clearest, sharpest legal minds dissecting
106
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.439
this authitarian circus in real time. A veteran litigator with
107
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.199
over thirty years of experience in both federal and state courts,
108
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.519
he's a former managing partner at several major law firms.
109
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.639
He is the co host of the top rated Legal
110
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.519
af podcast, which I'm telling everybody to go to, and
111
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.560
one of the most respected legal analysts breaking down Trump's
112
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.959
criminal exposure, the judicial corruption, and the weaponization of law
113
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.519
on a national stage. Mike's argued complex commercial cases, he's
114
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.600
handled major corporate investigations, and he's built a reputation for
115
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.399
translating legal cares and to truth that the public can
116
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.839
actually understand. And today he's here with me on Maya
117
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.120
Culpa to help us sift through the bullshit from the
118
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.000
Epstein fallout, the Trump meltdown, and the legal battles that
119
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.920
could reshape the entire country. So let's go now to
120
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.879
that conversation. Michael popac po Po, welcome back to Maya Culpa.
121
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:23.720
Great to have you.
122
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.240
As you know, the ible goes by way too fast,
123
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.480
A million questions for you, gonna jump right in it. Okay,
124
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.240
So let's start where the country right now is fixated.
125
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.919
When you look at the so called Epstein email release
126
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:42.679
twenty three thousand sent to the House over PSYCHMDY, hundreds
127
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:47.919
and hundreds more of internal communication between Epstein, his pilots,
128
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.600
his schedule as friends, his lawyers, you name it, lots
129
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:57.559
of people. Does this strike you as legitimate transparency or
130
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.279
is the Trump White House losing its grip on a
131
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.960
file that they're trying so desperate to control.
132
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.120
Legitimate transparent Here's here, let me just map it out.
133
00:09:09.440 -->
00:09:13.480
Legitimate transparency would be to take the entirety of what
134
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.240
cash Betel's FBI reviewed in March looking for Donald Trump's name,
135
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.919
the entirety of what they delivered to Pambondy, what Pambondy
136
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.519
briefed Trump bond in may and deliver that to the
137
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.879
American people with a site that they can go on
138
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.679
and read for themselves, with the survivor victim names redacted,
139
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.600
but not Donald Trump's, and let them be the judge
140
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.200
of it. I'll tell you what's not transparency. What's not
141
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.039
transparency is to go and put Lauren Bobert in the
142
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:45.320
situation room and abuse other women who have been victims
143
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.919
of sexual abuse again to try to convince them to
144
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.480
vote no on the discharge petition or on the eventual
145
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.759
bill of the House floor next month to release the
146
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.840
Epstein files. That's not transparency. As as Carolyn Levitt likes
147
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.480
to say, that's Orwellian, it's the opposite. Now. The reason
148
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.159
we're getting these other documents, including a data dump, which
149
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.600
I think Trump was supposed to help Trump, but actually
150
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.279
some of the things that are in the data dump
151
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.159
are worse than the three emails that came out earlier
152
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.960
in the week in terms of Donald Trump's involvement with things.
153
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.440
I don't know how this helps him any of it.
154
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:25.320
But the data dump itself, combined with new reporting by
155
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.240
David Schuster that came out in the last forty eight
156
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.320
to seventy two hours that there was a briefing between
157
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.720
the Department of Justice and right wing members of the
158
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.519
House in which they were told, according to the reporting,
159
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.159
that the files that are under wraps with Donald Trump
160
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.080
are worse for Donald Trump than first suspected. And now
161
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.240
we're seeing see, if you can't get them from the pile,
162
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.279
then you got to go to the source. And the
163
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.120
source is the Epstein estate and their hard drives and
164
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.960
their emails and their email boxes that still exist. And
165
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.559
look what's come out just in the last seventy two hours,
166
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.759
This scandal and Donald Trump's involvement has roared back to life.
167
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.679
It's been reignited.
168
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.840
Except the problem is the twenty three thousand emails that
169
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.600
were given over by the Epstein Estate, those are not
170
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.600
documents that are included, or at least we don't believe
171
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.080
so in the file that's under the control of Pam
172
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.559
Bondi and Cash Pittel. My understanding is that these are separate,
173
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:29.120
that these are unique documents that were not part of it.
174
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.320
Again, how do we know a problem? We just don't know.
175
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.759
What do we know? I mean the mound of documents
176
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.159
which took up a tractor trailer filled and took a
177
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.120
team of FBI staff round the clock in twelve hour
178
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.039
shifts to review and to find Donald Trump's name in
179
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.639
it that when we refer to the Epstein files, we
180
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.840
refer to the documents that have been we assume obtained
181
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.720
by the FBI who did the investigations, the subpoenas that
182
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.840
were executed, the documents that were obtained, the hard drives.
183
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.120
It does not, however, may may not include the money
184
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:08.000
following the money the bank accounts for Epstein, maybe for
185
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:12.159
Donald Trump. And then to totally divert attention because he
186
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.720
knows it's going so badly, your old boss, he knows
187
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.039
it's going so badly, Donald Trump. He comes out with
188
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.639
Pam Bondy and the FBI. I should investigate Bill Clinton
189
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:29.080
and Larry Summers and Morgan. How about you? How about
190
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.919
they should? Okay, let's make this simple. In a well
191
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.080
functioning democracy that isn't controlled by the most corrupt Department
192
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.720
of Justice and FBI and history led by the felon
193
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.440
in chief as the chief legal officer for his own administration.
194
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.200
In a normal society, we'd have a special counsel already
195
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.120
appointed to be independent from the Department of Justice and
196
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:53.480
the FBI, to investigate wherever the chips may fall, including
197
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.600
the President of the United States. That's exactly what we're
198
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.720
not getting and we'll never get until we get accountability
199
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.600
and way.
200
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.960
You know,
I did a sub stack alive and one
201
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.000
of the things that popped into my head while I
202
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.399
was doing the life Lots of things pop into my head,
203
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.159
and the thing that popped into my head is you
204
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.840
know what I would do. I would actually offer my
205
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.639
service alongside whether it be Pambondy or a Todd Blanche
206
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:23.120
or Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, I would to act in
207
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:27.679
a bipartisan manner, go through every single document and prepare
208
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.840
a report like the Durham Report, like a Molar report.
209
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.919
And one thing people would know is that there's no
210
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.039
way in the world that every document that's missing will
211
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.039
not be accounted for, and that every person who should
212
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.039
be held accountable, alive or dead, would be listed in
213
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.320
that report. It would be a comprehensive report. It's really
214
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.320
the only way at this point in time, Popoc that
215
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:01.200
all America will acknowledge what those files contain, unless, of course,
216
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.919
they release them in its entirety. As you said, redacted
217
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.720
only to the names of the victims other than that,
218
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:14.720
if hypothetically they gave me the files to review anybody,
219
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.679
that's maga for sure. And many Republicans would say, no,
220
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.240
he's got an ax to grind right that how do
221
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.519
we know what he's writing is true? But if you
222
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.399
do it in concert with another person that they believe that,
223
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.159
to me is the only way that a proper report
224
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.039
could be written.
225
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.759
Look, the reality is, we're never going to see these
226
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.759
documents unless there's enough votes on the House floor to
227
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.000
release them. This president, will you know, when things are
228
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.120
going badly for you, you make them go as slowly
229
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:47.960
badly as possible. And that's what Donald Trump is busy
230
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.279
doing right now. He's wasting our time, our resources because
231
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.240
he's wrapped up in a scandal that he thought, Look,
232
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.519
when you have a rotting body in your closet and
233
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.480
you go away for fifty days or forty days on
234
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.200
a vacation, it's still there. You get back. So he
235
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.679
got back thinking, hey, did I squelch the Epstein cover
236
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.159
up scandal? No, you didn't. And now that the Oversight Committee,
237
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.600
which is bipartisan, starts releasing documents like you spent hours
238
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:17.240
at Jeffrey Epstein's house with a victim. It doesn't help
239
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.679
you that your press secretary reveals the name of the
240
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.840
victim as a defense. It doesn't. Even if it was
241
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.759
Virginia Jeoffrey, which I'm not sure it was or it wasn't,
242
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.240
it's not and it's not a defense to say, oh,
243
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.799
we know who the underaged girl was that he was
244
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.320
in the house with for hours at a time. It's Virginia.
245
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.720
That does not help you.
246
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.360
Yeah, Caroline Levitt, it's no, as we would say, tomchem right,
247
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.759
she certainly know genius amongst geniuses. She did with her
248
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.879
machine gun lips. So let me ask you this because legally.
249
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.679
It's a line by Donald Trump. That's a line by
250
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:57.240
Donald Trump. Caroline machine gun lips Levit, she's got to.
251
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.240
I mean, it's like, what the fuck that is so
252
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.879
legally and tactically, Who do you think actually benefits from
253
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:11.200
this selective leak, especially the emails referencing Marra a Lago visits,
254
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:13.720
flight manifests.
255
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.799
And Trump era DOJ correspondence, And who do you think
256
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.200
should be sweating bullets inside of Trump's inner circle?
257
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.600
Look? Trump Trump, I mean, Trump has been briefed about
258
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.600
his name Lousey all over these files. He was told
259
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.320
in May by Pam Bondy what it was. It's so
260
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.639
bad that with the reporting, and that I don't think
261
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.360
this this leak was timed. This leak was time because
262
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.360
look at the drum beats since the government's reopened. You
263
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.840
got Gallaine Maxwell, who has been lobbying for a pardon
264
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.679
or a commutation of her sentence as she lives the
265
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:51.759
Beverly Hills Hotel lifestyle, apparently in a Texas jail, okay,
266
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.720
which is hard to believe. You got all that going on.
267
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.799
David Schuster comes out with his reporting a couple of
268
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.360
days before that, when the government was about to reopen
269
00:16:59.600 -->
00:17:02.639
that the people that have been briefed on the files
270
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.440
by the DOJ say they are worse for Trump than
271
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.200
previously imagined. And then you've got, of course, we always
272
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:14.599
knew that Maxwell lied during her interview, her sworn interview
273
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.039
under oath under an immunity deal to Todd Blanche when
274
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.119
she said, oh, Donald Trump, Oh, Donald Trump. I think
275
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.640
they were barely friends. I don't think they were ever
276
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.559
at the house. And then you've got the email from
277
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.119
twenty eleven that's been released in which Epstein says, you
278
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.599
know the dog that doesn't bark. It's Donald Trump and
279
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.440
all those hours he spent with a girl in my
280
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:40.039
house and Ghalaie Maxwell saying I was just thinking about that.
281
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:41.519
You know.
282
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.519
The part that bothers me is, Look, you know, I
283
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.960
have friends since I was nine, ten years old, and
284
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.400
if you went into my phone, you'd probably find we
285
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.160
have ten twenty thousand emails to each other. You know,
286
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.799
some just asking what's going on, others somewhat less appropriate.
287
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:04.799
But there's specificity in all of my emails and my communications.
288
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.920
Jeffrey Epstein in these communications writes like a fucking four
289
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:09.440
year old.
290
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:10.039
That's right.
291
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:15.559
It's also incredibly cryptic. Okay, let's assume for a second
292
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.440
that and again, because Donald's not ce seed on any
293
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.680
of these emails. There are no emails from Donald Trump
294
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.880
to Jeffrey Epstein Maxwell, anyone who why wait.
295
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:28.720
Wait, it's two people who thought that these would never
296
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.359
see the light of day, kibbots in between each other.
297
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.400
Okay, go ahead, right, but you don't kibbots in cryptic
298
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.200
when you're talking about something that's sexual that you never
299
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.640
think is going to come out.
300
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:40.839
I mean, none of.
301
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.519
These emails have any specificity, which bothers me, which is
302
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.160
why we need the full unredacted file so that we
303
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.400
can get some clarity what it's about.
304
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.599
But what what.
305
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.240
I thought was incredibly interesting is the fact that nobody
306
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.880
has brought this up. Why are there no emails from
307
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:04.880
Trump to Jeffstein? Thought he doesn't even have an email address.
308
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.519
He doesn't have one. He never had a computer, even
309
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.440
on his desk.
310
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:10.640
He does an email.
311
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.039
He he doesn't have an email address. For exact Roy
312
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:20.200
Cone taught him early early on, never have an email,
313
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:24.359
Never email or text anybody in that way. There's no
314
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:28.559
documentation that could ever be raised by you or against
315
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.559
you for what's been sent.
316
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.960
Did he use he were you pre social media with him?
317
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:35.759
Was he on social media when you were with him?
318
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.720
He was on social media? In fact, I'm the one
319
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.559
that helped him start his account on x okay, so
320
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.000
he was on x and I guess he did well.
321
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:46.680
He didn't really DM people.
322
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.400
In fact, what he would do is he would have
323
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.039
somebody else send a text to somebody. Only on a
324
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.519
rare occasion would he send a DM.
325
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:55.200
So you're not.
326
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.079
Going to get that. But I'm shocked that Jeffrey Epstein
327
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:03.240
was a fucking pervert, right Gallayne Maxwell, who's a fucking degenerate, right,
328
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.400
very cryptic, very non specific. Two perverts talking to one
329
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:12.559
another are somewhat more specific than just hey, Donald was
330
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.440
with you know whoever it might be, you know, for
331
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:16.680
hours at the house.
332
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:18.640
Wait a minute, Wait a minute. Wait. Let me challenge
333
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.359
that they may be not thinking that these are ever
334
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.000
going to see the light of the day, but they
335
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.119
certainly don't want to incriminate themselves and say, hey, you
336
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.920
just you just you just raped a girl, didn't you.
337
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.720
They're not gonna they don't write that way. If you
338
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.720
look at remember all the emails that came out. You
339
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.839
and I did a piece about it. Also, all those
340
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:36.960
emails that came out the first data top and we
341
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.880
went through them, you know, we learned about the spreadsheet
342
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.000
for the gifts that Bill Clinton is on and Alan
343
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:45.799
Dershowitz is on and buy this guy Alexis and buy
344
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.359
this one a watch and all of that. Even then,
345
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:53.839
when they communicated, it was in the shorthand of co conspirators,
346
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:59.279
lovers and participants in a child sex trafficking ring. They
347
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.960
were never de So this was consistent. It's not like
348
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.319
these were out of character. For how these two communicator.
349
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:08.319
We saw hundreds of their of their emails. Even co
350
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:10.599
conspirators and bank robbers don't talk about, hey, what do
351
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.680
you do with your with your cut from the breakstruck.
352
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.359
I mean they were.
353
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:19.519
Agreed, but like where the email says, but Trump told
354
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:23.599
Gilaine to stop the question that I keep asking people.
355
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:28.160
Stop what Stop stealing my girls that are working for me.
356
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:33.119
Stop charging shit, you know on Jeffrey Epstein's account since
357
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.359
he doesn't have one, since I tossed him out because
358
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:39.400
he's a creep and a pedophile. Stop what Stop showing
359
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:43.000
up unannounced, Stop pushing people on my lap, Stop taking
360
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:45.319
photos of me. We don't know what stop was.
361
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:47.240
Yeah, but I got my own version, so do you.
362
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:52.359
You know, folks, when I first got my hands on
363
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.680
the I restore Elite, the big one, the fancy one.
364
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.240
I thought, great. Now, when we're in a glowing red
365
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:01.000
space helmet, I mean, I looked like I was auditioning
366
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.200
for the world. Said it's Daft punk tribute band. But
367
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.680
let me tell you something. This thing it's comfortable. You
368
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.839
literally you put it on your head, you hit the button,
369
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:13.319
and suddenly you've got five hundred lights doing more for
370
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.079
your scalp than my lawyer ever did for my career.
371
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:21.680
I mean, I wear mine while I'm answering emails, drinking, coughing, plotting, revenge, whatever,
372
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.359
And here's the shaker my hair. It actually looks starting
373
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.839
to look fuller. I mean, even my wife said, Michael,
374
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:31.279
you're finally reversing something for once. I mean, that's true
375
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.920
love right now. I've tried other LED masks in the past.
376
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:37.519
Most of them felt like strap and a hot lunch
377
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:42.119
trait my face. But I restore. It's lightweight, easy, there's
378
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.079
no drama. And when you pair the Elite with the
379
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.640
Revive plus Max growth kit, that shampoo, conditioner, serum, the
380
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.359
whole Avengers cast of hair products, it's like your follicles
381
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.759
enter Witness Protection and come back with a new identity.
382
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.119
It's stronger, thicker, it's ready to testify. Gummies, they're delicious,
383
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.720
any dangerous. I ate two and I had to stop
384
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:07.880
myself from tearing through the rest like they were Halloween candy.
385
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.000
And look, the holidays are here, and you're gonna be
386
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.200
in photos. You're gonna see relatives who still think that
387
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.319
you peaked in nineteen ninety eight, So why not show
388
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.880
up with better hair than half the people who used
389
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:20.480
to judge you.
390
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:22.279
And plus this.

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.960
You ever try launching a podcast with zero experience, Well,
406
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.279
let me tell you it's like being tossed into a
407
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.599
cage match with a grizzly bear, blindfolded wearing clown shoes.
408
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.000
I mean, when I started Maya Kulpa, I thought to myself.
409
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.400
Come on, how hard can this be? Well?
410
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:35.799
Scriptwriting, logos,
production schedules, and deals, and don't even get
411
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.279
me started on the text setup. I mean, I felt
412
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:41.920
like I was the coding the damn matrix. If only
413
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:46.480
I had Shopify when I launched this beast. Shopify is
414
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:51.359
the platform behind millions of businesses across the globe, responsible
415
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.240

416
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.119
of all e commerce in the United States. And my friends,
417
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.000
that's not hype.
418
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:01.160
That's a fact.
419
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:05.160
From big names like Mattel and Jim Shark to folks
420
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:09.319

Yeah, they've got those two writing your product descriptions, jazzing
426
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.440
up your images, maybe maybe even making you sound smarter
427
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:31.960
than you actually are. I mean not naming names or anything, right,
428
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.039
I mean need a marketing squad. Shopifies built in tools

inventory returns international shipping. I mean they are the ride
432
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:53.640
or die business partner that you never knew that you needed.
433
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:56.440
So if you got a big idea or even a
434
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.640

slash Cohen one more time that shopify dot com slash Cohen. Well,
442
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.920
I understand, but that's our version. But that doesn't make
443
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.039
our version factual. Maybe it makes it, it makes it
444
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:39.720
our opinion, but it doesn't make it fact it.
445
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:41.880
Maybe, but I have a trial lawyer, and if I
446
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.240
got an email like that and I'm in court, I
447
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.920
can make a reasonable inference to a jury without having
448
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.039
anybody even involved. I've used plenty of documents where the
449
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.640
witnesses didn't want to testify or couldn't remember the document,
450
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:55.880
but you can read it for yourself, and in real
451
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:59.640
time he's responding. And we've had Michael Wolfe on recently
452
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.039
Court of History Legal laf about his emails in particular
453
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.079
and what he what memory it jogged for him. He
454
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.160
said on that particular email exchange that this was in response,
455
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:14.480
of course to Donald Trump saying that he fired the creep.
456
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:16.240
You know, you heard Carol Levett say as soon as
457
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.799
Donald Trump knew that he was a pedophile. This is
458
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.240
so not getting those so damning for Donald Trump. As
459
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:24.400
soon as he knew he was a pedophile and a creep,
460
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:27.440
that he fired him from mar Alago and and canceled
461
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:29.559
his membership A right, stop right there. First of all,
462
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.160
that's not true. That's he was never as Epstein said
463
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:33.839
in his own email, I was never a member of
464
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.559
mar A Lago, and so I could have been fired
465
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.519
from mar Alago. That's one. Secondly, we know from the
466
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.839
backstory that it was over a forty million dollars land deal,
467
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:45.519
and that on the you know, on the courthouse steps
468
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:47.119
when they were bidding it up, he was pissed at
469
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.920
Epstein for making him bid up the land purchase. That's
470
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.279
second was.
471
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.480
Epstein who was who was angry at Donald because Epstein
472
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.920
is the one who brought him to the house because
473
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.279
Epstein wanted to buy it. In fact, that house was
474
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:04.200
originally owned by the same guy, Les Wexner, that gave
475
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:08.640
him that sixty million dollar townhouse for a dollar right right.
476
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.519
It was previously owned by another guy who was the
477
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.519
who lost it, right who lost it? So the other
478
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:16.200
thing that's problematic in that comment is, so your boss
479
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:19.400
knew he was a pedophile, and what did he do
480
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.279
about it? Did he go to the
authorities, did he
481
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.880
report him? Or did he leave him on the streets
482
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:27.759
to pray on girls that doesn't help them in the
483
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:30.680
story in the narrative the way I read it, you
484
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:32.720
can tell your audience how you read it. The way
485
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:35.839
I read it about the I was never that, I
486
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:41.319
was never a member girls and then Gallaige Maxwell to
487
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.880
stop is that Gallaie Maxwell was using more A Lago
488
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.759
as a predator hunting ground to find young girls who
489
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.799
were vulnerable girls to bring back to Epstein. I don't
490
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.880
know how else you could read it.
491
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:56.960
Well, you could, you don't really know what the what
492
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.000
is Again, we can, I would argue, we can make
493
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.519
an argument either way, but certainly somebody can always say,
494
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.960
you know, stop charging you know, fucking mar Lago Bergers,
495
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:09.559
you know on Jeffrey's account he doesn't have one anymore.
496
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:11.839
I mean, it could be a million different things. I
497
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:16.279
will tell you I heard from a conspiracy theorist to
498
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:17.720
conspiracy theorist.
499
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:20.119
I love, I love the warning the warning Bible.
500
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:28.240
Right. They think that the reason that Trump doesn't want
501
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:33.319
the files released is not because it was a sexual
502
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.440
sort of thing, but rather because Donald was an FBI
503
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:42.279
informant for years. I've heard this, Yeah, yeah, right, and
504
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:46.279
that it really goes back many, many years, which is
505
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:48.799
how he was successful in pulling off a lot of
506
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.039
bullshit and doing a lot of things that he never
507
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.200
was held accountable for that somebody else would have been.
508
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.880
And again it's almost like the Whitey Bulgess story was
509
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.279
like white Masks, where he was able to basically deal
510
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.039
drugs in front of police officers and they knew they
511
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.680
couldn't touch him because he was a well known and
512
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.880
an important FBI informant. That's one conspiracy. There's of course
513
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.480
many more.
514
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.680
Yeah, let me go back for a bit because I
515
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:20.160
have the email in front of me. This was between
516
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.240
Michael Wolf, Who's
now the way, Can.
517
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:23.880
I just say one more thing about Michael Wolfe of
518
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:28.079
course really disappointed in that email where he's almost acting
519
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:31.440
as an advisor, a legal advisor. Hey, you can use
520
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:35.519
this information as a benefit to yourself PR wise, or
521
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:39.319
for a reduced kind of sentence, or you can use
522
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:42.519
it if Trump becomes president as almost like a shit right,
523
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.240
as a debt that he would owe you.
524
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:45.759
But I don't know. I felt.
525
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:50.000
I felt because I've had him on this may Culpa podcast,
526
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:51.759
I've had him on my substacks.
527
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.119
I felt a little betrayed. I mean, for me, it
528
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:01.880
just showed how much Donald Trump feared, the blackmail and
529
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:05.839
the extortion. What did Epstein have on Donald Trump and you?
530
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:09.079
And all? For me? It was is Michael Wolfe commenting
531
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:13.759
on knowing through being with Epstein how much he had.
532
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:15.720
And Michael's been very public about all the stuff that
533
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.680
he's seen. Is he coaching him on PR Probably? Yes?
534
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:22.559
Did across the line and make you uncomfortable and be uncomfortable?
535
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.559
Did it did? But at the end it also shows
536
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:28.559
how much Epstein had over Donald Trump and how much
537
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:30.680
Donald Trump should have feared. Here's the email you and
538
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.359
I were talking about in the middle a minute ago,
539
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.279
Victim's name blacked out. This went back with Michael Wolf
540
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.079
in twenty nineteen something about mar A Lago, another blackout.
541
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:46.960
Trump said, he asked me to resign. Never a member, ever,
542
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.880
Never a member of mar A Lago ever. Of course
543
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:56.559
he knew about the girls, as he asked Glaine to
544
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:02.799
stop that's girls and stop not charging up at the grill. Yeah.
545
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:06.640
Well, like I said, anybody can make an argument depending
546
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.119
upon which side of the I want all the files.
547
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:12.920
I want the background, I want the specifics. I want
548
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.559
to know exactly what the what really means. But let
549
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.599
me ask you this, because we are right now, based
550
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:21.480
upon like what you and I are doing right now,
551
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:26.759
just engaging in a conversation about possibilities, we are literally
552
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:32.880
watching a political earthquake where Trump is facing the largest
553
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:38.480
Republican rebellion so far of his presidency. People like Rand
554
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:44.839
Paul what's his name? Johnson, Mike Lee, even Marco Rubio
555
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.839
publicly demanding the full release of the Epstein file. How
556
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:55.000
unprecedented is this level of intra party mutiny?
557
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.920
I mean it, If we're doing our jobs both here
558
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:06.720
on Maya Culpa on the Midas Touch network, then we
559
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:11.680
are trying to find the points of division which should
560
00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:16.160
naturally cleave within the Republican Party, which is not has
561
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:21.960
not been completely taken over by Maga. MAGA is running
562
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.400
the show. But there are certainly what you and I
563
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.160
used to refer to as country club Republicans who have
564
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:30.480
never been totally comfortable or comfortable at all with Donald Trump.
565
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:36.640
And on major issues like this child sex trafficking lines
566
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.319
are being drawn. Right, We've seen it with Marjorie Taylor Green.
567
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:41.400
I saw our interview on the View. I was like,
568
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:42.839
who is this person? Right?
569
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:47.240
She's now the north star of the Republican Party.
570
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:50.400
I mean, you say some crazy shit out loud that
571
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.839
she thinks. It also shows that she thinks there is
572
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.599
a path away from Donald Trump. And yet have our
573
00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:00.640
own political survivor survival, which is to your point, are
574
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:06.200
there ways now to cannibalize this resistance within the trumpet
575
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.320
within the MAGA world to our benefit? And there seems
576
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.800
to be some issues that people just won't support Trump on.
577
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.960
I see him as losing his grip on power. The
578
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:23.800
economy is doing that. The heartlessness around the shutdown and
579
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:25.840
the snap benefits. I mean, you can say what you
580
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:28.920
want about Americans and our political divide, but we want
581
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.159
a president with a heart, and if we find that
582
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:34.800
he doesn't have one and he's abusing the most underprivileged
583
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:38.320
and fragile in our society, that doesn't play well in
584
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:40.880
Red states either. You know why.
585
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.559
Because they are the
recipients of snap benefits as well.
586
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.760
They are the same recipients as the Democrats. So let
587
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:51.119
me then ask you this, because then take all that
588
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:56.159
the cherry on the top of this insanity Sunday is
589
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:59.480
Marjorie tail and Green and the Magabase.
590
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.400
Literally now openly.
591
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:08.519
Blasting They're blasting Trump for protecting elites, protecting elites by
592
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:12.519
delaying the rest of the Epstein documents. So I want
593
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.320
to ask you what do you make of the let's
594
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:20.000
just call it the Frankenstein mob, accusing their creator of
595
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.760
going soft. And when I say soft, I'm not talking
596
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:24.920
about in bed like Stormy said, I'm trying to go
597
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.760
and soft in terms of on the protecting of the elites.
598
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.679
Yeah. Look, I think they've picked up pitchforks and torches.
599
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:36.599
They feel they have a political lane to occupy. Nancy Mace,
600
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:41.039
you know, left that meeting with the survivors in tears.
601
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.559
Many of them say they were subjects of sexual abuse themselves.
602
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.840
I'm not outing anybody. This is them personally. Their personal
603
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:50.440
stories they've told Nancy Mayce, Lauren Bobert, and Marjorie Taylergreen
604
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.320
have all said they were on the receiving end of
605
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.400
sexual abuse. So they take this thing seriously. Donald Trump,
606
00:35:55.400 --> 00:36:00.679
as once again, is clueless where to the shift narrative
607
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.719
underneath his own feet. See what got him as you know,
608
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:06.840
and I know, well what got him elected? You know,
609
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:11.119
the governing and poetry, the campaigning in poetry, but having
610
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:13.599
to governed in pros is biting him in the ass.
611
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:16.480
He feels like, oh, I'm the same guy, and I'm
612
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:19.239
the crypto guy. I'm the golden shower, sorry, the golden
613
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.920
bathroom guy. I'm the ballroom guy. Everybody loves me. They don't,
614
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:26.119
not when ten months of the Trump economy has ripped
615
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.000
away people's dignity and crushed their hopes and dreams, and
616
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.920
him keeps saying it's it's great, it's the greatest economy
617
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:34.039
in the world. So he's got a Biden problem because
618
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:37.880
Biden also kept telling people, even though the numbers showed
619
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:40.639
it should be a better economy for people. We knew
620
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:43.079
what we were, what we were paying for clothing and
621
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.679
shelter and housing and food. Were like, is this what's
622
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:48.079
this guy smoking? That he thinks the economy is good
623
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:51.440
and now the economy is worse than what Biden and
624
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:53.679
it was. It was turning in a really great direction
625
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:57.480
right before the election. So you've got Donald Trump missing
626
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:04.159
all of that overplaying his hand during the shutdown where
627
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.000
he said, here's a great idea, I'll wreck the economy
628
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.480
even more while I golf at bar A Lago. See
629
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:12.039
that didn't go over well with the American people. We
630
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.400
see it in the polling and at the election and
631
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:16.159
the election night last Tuesday.
632
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:19.440
I mean, not only is he out there playing golf,
633
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:24.440
not only is he there hosting parties, right, I mean
634
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:30.639
lavish also at the same time pardoning people who do
635
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:36.440
not deserve pardons, right, including folks like George Santos and others.
636
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:41.679
This is the problem what he's doing. He's behaving in
637
00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:46.639
a way that even his own base cannot stomach. But
638
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:53.239
here comes the classic Trump reflects. Instead of being transparent,
639
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:58.519
what does he do. He's ordering Attorney General Pam Bondi
640
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:03.599
to go out there and investigate Democrats like Bill Clinton,
641
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:10.000
Barack Obama, Barack Obama. You got Bill Richardson, uh it Hood,
642
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.440
Barack Leon Black. I mean, he's got a whole slew
643
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.320
of them that he wants that he wants to uh
644
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:21.760
you have what's his name from LinkedIn Reed Hoffman, all
645
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:27.519
all of whom appear in portions of the Epstein file.
646
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:32.320
Is this law enforcement or do you think this is
647
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:35.920
political smoke screen? Well?
648
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:41.960
Both listen. I think that. I mean, I just did
649
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.400
a report about him using the Southern District of Florida's
650
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:49.079
prosecutor there. Who's a who's a meat puppet that they've
651
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:52.719
selected on purpose in order to go after his political enemies.
652
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:55.159
He's getting Mike Davis, you know, one of these right
653
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:57.480
wingers that I thought was
gonna be the attorney general.
654
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.800
God help us, A Laura Lumer type is pushing Trump
655
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:04.400
to use the Southern District of Florida and get everything
656
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:07.719
in front of Judge Alien Cannon, including using Grand Juris
657
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:11.840
in Fort Pierce to go after Barack Obama and others.
658
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:16.440
And you know Brennan, former CIA director, has already said
659
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:19.000
that he's getting he got a subpoena for things that
660
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:21.880
happened in twenty sixteen. Now, let me just put a
661
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:26.960
legal spit on this. There's only one crime that has
662
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.239
no statue of limitations that would be in play here,
663
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:33.440
treason and murder. Well, yeah, I'm talking about for sure
664
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:37.639
political purposes treason. The rest have a five year statute
665
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.559
of limitations. So Donald Trump is going to have a
666
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:43.159
meat puppet who got who? And I did a report
667
00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:46.079
on this guy who was who was written up for
668
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:50.559
incompetency when he was an assistant US attorney in Miami.
669
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.599
He's now heading the office. They're going to have him
670
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:57.599
go after people for treason in order to give Donald
671
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:02.199
Trump political cover. I mean again, federal judges in the
672
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:05.079
Southern District of Florida, hopefully not named Alien Canon, are
673
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.719
gonna have to stand up and protect our democracy.
674
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.519
Sure, so let's turn around and let's just be crystal
675
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:14.559
clear about something. Let's assume that he gets it before
676
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:19.440
Judge Cannon. Let's assume it, and let's assume that Barack
677
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:24.400
Obama is certainly not going to roll over. He's not
678
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:28.199
going to ask to get his belly rubbed. And Ben Denee,
679
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:32.280
he'll fight it out. He'll fight it out. Do you
680
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:37.320
really think that there's twelve jurors that would ultimately hold
681
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:44.159
Barack Obama accountable for treason simply because Trump says so,
682
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:48.159
or because Pam Bondi says so. It'll be the biggest
683
00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:53.239
waste of taxpayer dollars in any case that I could put.
684
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:56.719
He came after me in the Southern District, the federal
685
00:40:56.840 --> 00:41:00.719
Federal Southern District of Miami. I happen to gotten a
686
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:03.760
great judge page. I know the judgement by just spinning
687
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:07.039
of the wheel. And the only bad thing is that
688
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:09.920
the judge took too long. He should have issued the
689
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.440
decision immediately, which would have dismissed the case and I
690
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:17.000
wouldn't have to be bothered. But then again, let's go
691
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:21.239
back to statute of limitations. The argument goes back to
692
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.400
even two thousand and seven.
693
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:27.519
Years old.
694
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:31.280
You're talking about you're talking about ten years, just about
695
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:36.119
eight nine, ten years. The statute of limitations is over
696
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:39.719
two plus years on any charge that he wanted to break.
697
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:42.880
But it still costs your money. That's the worst part.
698
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:47.239
But you know, Pak, you've said before that Trump governs
699
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:50.880
through projection. How much do you think this move is
700
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:55.239
Trump trying to shift the attention from the unanswered questions
701
00:41:55.400 --> 00:42:00.960
about his own relationship if any, with Epstein, and especially
702
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:05.320
Epstein's presence at mar A Lago in the late nineties.
703
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.239
Yeah. Look, I think there's a couple of things going on.
704
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:12.039
One Donald Trump needs to be the great distractor and
705
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:17.400
try to say he operates by what about is I
706
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:19.159
might have done the bad things, but what about these
707
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.719
guys and try to get the media hoard to go
708
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:26.440
in that direction to give him some political currency and
709
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:29.440
mileage out of that. He's also on a clock. Let's
710
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:33.719
be frank. He's on a clock, both biological and political,
711
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.519
and the way he operates for me, I've called him
712
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:41.119
the incredible shrinking President. He's about about three feet tall.
713
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.800
At two feet tall at this point, he operates like
714
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:46.800
somebody that knows he's on a short time horizon which
715
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.280
could clock out at the midterms. He's trying to do
716
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:54.039
maximum damage and destruction with a checklist of his own making,
717
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:58.440
which is I want to make a several billion dollars
718
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:01.280
for my friends and family before I leave so far
719
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:05.239
check I want to avoid criminal liability for myself and
720
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:08.199
my friends. That's where pardons and the immunity decision come
721
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:11.679
in check and I want
to retaliate and make people's
722
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:14.840
lives miserable and get my pound of flesh for people
723
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.840
like Leticia James and James Kobe in the intelligence community,
724
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:20.840
and Barack Obama and Bell Clinton. And I want to
725
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:23.480
do all that for as long as I have political relevancy.
726
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:27.000
He's also knows he's gonna be lame duck, he fears,
727
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:29.199
and I think it's a real fear. He's going to
728
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:31.480
be lame duck less than a year from now, if
729
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:35.400
in order to give himself political capital of any kind,
730
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.679
which is now dwindling in his grip on power. Also,
731
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:40.559
he's got to say stupid shit out loud, like I'm
732
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:42.840
going to be a president for a third term, and
733
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:46.760
look at all these guys. But it's not working. Look,
734
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:50.000
it's like a magician where everybody in the audience is
735
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.400
starting to boo and throw letuce and cabbage. Who realized that?
736
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:56.079
Who realized that? The woman's not being sought in half?
737
00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:58.760
He's not this, You know, the card trick's not working
738
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:02.360
any longer. Look at the polling numbers. They're the worst
739
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.360
we've ever seen in modern history. And if you think, well,
740
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.679
he oh, he always he always does better than his
741
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.719
ball numbers, he did not election night last week. He
742
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:12.559
has it in every major special election.
743
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.880
You ever hit that point where your body starts sending
744
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:22.480
error messages that your doctor can't translate, you know, aches, fatigue,
745
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.719
brain fog, and the guy just shrugs and says, eh,
746
00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:29.440
you're getting older. Yeah, thanks, doctor obvious. I mean real
747
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:32.960
insight there. And that's when I found Superpower. And I'll
748
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:35.480
tell you it's the first time I felt like someone
749
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:39.480
actually gave me the full picture. They test over one
750
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:45.239
hundred biomarkers, heart, liver, thyroid, hormones, vitamins, even toxins, and
751
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:48.239
they break it all down for you in plain English.
752
00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:54.000
Then they build you a personalized plan supplements, nutrition, lifestyle tweaks,
753
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:57.519
and they even tell you your true biological age. I
754
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.320
mean to be honest, I was relieved mine didn't come back.
755
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:00.960
Is ancient.
756
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:04.840
Now, let me be clear. It's proactive health, not the
757
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:08.480
usual guessing game. And the best part you track your
758
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:12.440
results over time, like watching your health improve instead of
759
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.840
waiting it for it to fall apart. Now, usually this
760
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:19.079
level of testing runs four hundred and ninety nine dollars,
761
00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:23.960
but right now, right now, Superpower's offering the whole experience
762
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:26.800
for one hundred and ninety nine dollars, and I'm telling
763
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:29.559

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:33.360

That's superpower dot Com. S u p er power dot com.
768
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:49.119
Go sign up, find out what your body's really saying,

00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:53.719
and tell them that may acculp assent you your biology decoded
770
00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:57.239
to your superpower. You know, when I think back on
771
00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:59.280
my own life, there were days when I felt like
772
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:02.679
trouble was fo like it had me on GPS. And
773
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:06.239
that's exactly what debt feels like. It doesn't show up
774
00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:10.039
with sirens blaring. It sneaks up on you. A bill here,
775
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:13.559
a fee there, a number you swear was smaller last month,
776
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:17.400
and then suddenly boom, You're wondering why your account looks
777
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:21.559
like it entered Witness protection without you. At first, the
778
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:25.719
clues don't connect, but step back and the pattern ah
779
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:29.519
Crystal Clear credit card debt is the suspect hiding in
780
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.679
plain sight. It follows you like a shadow, and just
781
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:36.159
when you think that you're finally safe, again, it strikes.
782
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:41.519
Locked the counts, vanishing paychecks, futures rearranged without your permission.
783
00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:46.400
PDS Debt has helped hundreds of thousands escape that mess,
784

785
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:54.559

00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:59.239

I had needed this kind of help back in the day,

798

805
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:15.639
why I turn around. And I talked to especially Epstein's
806
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:20.840
presence at Marra a lago, their relationship in the late eighties,
807
00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:23.719
and you know, all the way through the late nineties,
808
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:30.360
including into the two thousands, I get more stupid, stupid
809
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:34.199
people turning around and saying, oh, Michael Cohen was involved
810
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:37.199
in trying to pay off this individual when they.
811
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:37.920
Were a child.
812
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:40.840
I want to be clear to people, and I say
813
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:44.880
this all the time. In nineteen eighty eight, when I
814
00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:47.159
think two of the people that are in that list
815
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:52.199
that are constantly going around, I was enjoying my fraternity
816
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.280
prom in my senior year of college.
817
00:48:55.800 --> 00:48:57.039
I certainly wasn't.
818
00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:00.519
Paying off people for Donald Trump. I didn't know who well,
819
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:03.280
I knewho Donald was obviously is a New Yorker, but
820
00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:06.760
I didn't have a relationship, certainly to him. I didn't
821
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.639
come into his orbit into late two thousand and five,
822
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:14.880
but did not become an employee until two thousand and seven.
823
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:18.960
For whatever the reason is, people can't get that through
824
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:23.440
their head, and I wish they would, because we constantly
825
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:27.119
you and I on our different programs Legal af might
826
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:30.320
just touched network political beat down here on Maya Culpa.
827
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:35.880
We talk a lot about the legal boomerangs, right, such
828
00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:40.280
as you know, Trump's risks, one of which is opening
829
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:46.320
up this Pandora's box by weaponizing investigations into these Democrats
830
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:51.119
that I was just talking about. Because given that, PAMBONDI
831
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:55.480
will now have to explain at some point in time,
832
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:59.519
especially especially if you're right and we're successful in the
833
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:05.519
in terms where at least at least the House turns Democrat,
834
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:09.119
she will have to explain to a committee why did
835
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:16.519
DOJ never examine Trump's own connection to Jeffrey Epstein and
836
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:17.800
only these folks?
837
00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:24.480
Yeah, I mean in your question is your answer? That's
838
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:27.519
your answer? I know my answer. What's your answer?
839
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:31.920
My answer is she's going to get dragged before a committee. Yeah,
840
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:35.920
and she is going to have to explain why why
841
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:42.079
are you investigating Barack Obama or Read Hoffman or JP
842
00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:44.599
Morgan Chase, What about the Trump organism?
843
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:48.320
What about you, mister Cohen? Mister Cohen, you work for
844
00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:51.119
Donald Trump. You were once in a photo with him,
845
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:54.480
and so you have the temerity to challenge my ethics.
846
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:57.639
I could do Pam Bondi for you right now, but
847
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.760
that doesn't help. That is the thing that's lost on
848
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:04.920
the Trump administration is the thing that's that satisfies your
849
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:08.679
old client and makes him happy and giddy at day
850
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:11.239
and high fiving whoever is in his inner circle, Stephen
851
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:14.159
Miller or whoever's sitting there. When when Pam Bondy or
852
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:18.400
Cash Bettel look ridiculous in front of the American people,
853
00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:21.119
is that this does not cover them with any glory.
854
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:25.760
When Pam Bondy, obviously is never other than her confirmation hearing,
855
00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:29.920
is never going to answer a straight question posed to
856
00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:34.639
her by a Democrat in their oversight capacity. Ever, again,
857
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:37.199
it's not going
to change. She did not learn from
858
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:39.360
the bad press that you and I and others gave
859
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:41.599
her from her last appearance that she needs to do
860
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:43.360
better at the next one. Like a debate. You know,
861
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.320
when the presidents like crap the bed during one of
862
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:48.960
the debates, like Obama was listless during one, Al Gore
863
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:50.599
needs to do it. She's not gonna fuck, She's not
864
00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:53.320
gonna f and learn from her from that she's gonna
865
00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:55.519
do the right things, And I asked by the way
866
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:59.920
I asked Blumenthal. Senator Blumenthal came on the show about
867
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:02.800
a week after about his back and forth with her.
868
00:52:03.079 --> 00:52:06.079
I said, were you prepared for her? I mean, I
869
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:07.960
know you didn't go first, but were you prepared for
870
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:11.280
her to just go after you instead of answering a question?
871
00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:14.199
He goes, yeah, we quickly pivoted. We figured out she
872
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:16.199
was going to come in with talking of the palm
873
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:19.679
card for each of us. But how do you think, Michael,
874
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.360
listen to you, But again, you think that played well
875
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:23.440
in front of the American people?
876
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:26.119
So the answer is the answer is it did to
877
00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:30.599
their base. They were but it's it's big enough that
878
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:33.840
he won the election. But here's the problem. He didn't
879
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:35.519
win the election with the base, I.
880
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:38.719
Mean with enough people. He certainly won the election.
881
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:41.599
So those folks that voted for him like the fact
882
00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:45.000
that his people are fighting from However, there's a big
883
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:48.440
difference when it comes to this Epstein bullshit. There's a
884
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:54.079
big difference because Republicans will ask the same question as Democrats.
885
00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:56.360
Let me tell you, they say that there's a hundred
886
00:52:56.440 --> 00:53:00.519
Republicans now that are calling for the release of the
887
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:03.480
Epstein file. So if you now are sitting on one
888
00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:07.280
of those committees in between the House and the Senate
889
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:10.719
until that's listen to what I read in a month,
890
00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:15.239
that's for sure, you know, but imagine, imagine if that's true.
891
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.400
Imagine if it's true, and it's the reason why Democrats
892
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:23.519
are calling for the vote and not just accepting what
893
00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:26.519
Maga Mike Johnson want, which is okay, fine, we're going
894
00:53:26.559 --> 00:53:29.119
to acknowledge it and then bring it to the floor
895
00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.760
without taking a vote. Why are the Democrats doing it because, motherfucker,
896
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:36.960
we want to know. We want to know which asshole
897
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.800
is willing to say no to the release of the
898
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:44.639
file and not allow them to escape as these midterms
899
00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:48.280
are coming. That's why Mike Johnson, with his pink cheeks
900
00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:52.280
and his and his you know, miss Scara, are sitting
901
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:55.199
there and turning around and playing this game. All right,
902
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:59.039
They can't bullshit the American people anymore.
903
00:53:59.280 --> 00:53:59.440
Where.
904
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:02.519
There's too many of us out there that are feeding
905
00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:04.719
truth to power like you.
906
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:07.719
Yeah, look, look, this is one of the reasons I
907
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:09.639
think you and I get up in the morning and
908
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:12.559
start our day. See the difference between us and the
909
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:15.360
Trump administration or anybody in it. Is that you and
910
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.159
I and others on the Midas Touch Network. I just
911
00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:19.760
had Adam Makler on who You've had them on as well.
912
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:22.199
The first thing I think about as soon as besides
913
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:26.039
my family. The second thing I think about is what
914
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:29.199
we can do to bring truth to each other first
915
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:31.719
and then bring truth to power. What is the new
916
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:34.639
information I need to curate for my audience, your audience
917
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:37.519
that they need to know in order to take to
918
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:42.960
the streets and debate and understand the issues and without
919
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:45.440
without smoke or sunshine. The first thing that Trump administration
920
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:47.880
thinks about in the morning, let's be honest, is a
921
00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:52.320
their portfolio. And second, how they can screw the American
922
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:55.679
people and those that they consider beneath them, which is
923
00:54:55.719 --> 00:54:59.760
the majority of America who aren't millionaires and billionaires. That is,
924
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:02.639
that does not that does not make for honest service,
925
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:06.639
That does not make for doing right by the people
926
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:09.320
in the people's house for which you were elected. That
927
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:13.039
sets you off automatically in
the wrong direction.
928
00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:16.480
And look, the one thing that you're now getting my
929
00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:22.480
Maya Kulpa followers, obviously you know my relationship to Trump
930
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:25.760
and to the family. You just may not be aware
931
00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:29.559
that Michael Popak used to be involved and worked with
932
00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:30.480
Howard Lutnik.
933
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:32.840
Did you just help me? I just did?
934
00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:36.159
I outed you? So you actually so you actually know
935
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:39.679
exactly what He wakes up and looks at how did
936
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:41.559
the market do yesterday? How much am I up?
937
00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:42.440
How much am I down?
938
00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:44.679
And is today going to be a day that I
939
00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:47.760
need to speak to Sachs to find out what's happening
940
00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:50.519
with bitcoin so that I can tell my family and
941
00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:52.199
that they can go ahead and make sure that they
942
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.239
get the right, you know, the right algorithm going.
943
00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:58.039
I just did a hot take today about Bloomberg reporting
944
00:55:58.079 --> 00:56:02.159
that Canter Fitzgerald the family off for Howard Lutnik, run
945
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:04.920
by his two who his two sons, which I refer
946
00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:06.840
to as I've never knew a family that had two
947
00:56:06.840 --> 00:56:11.599
Fredos are running in the company. It's up twenty five percent,
948
00:56:11.719 --> 00:56:14.840
their best year ever, and they go, it's just totally
949
00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:18.440
coincidental that our father's the Commerce secretary and we get
950
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:20.239
to hang out with everybody in the White House and
951
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:23.320
look how much money we're making. Like, does anybody believe
952
00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:26.320
that you got the report that Scott Bessett the Treasury
953
00:56:26.360 --> 00:56:30.000
secretary is evading taxes. He set up offshore accounts to
954
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:33.719
avoid Medicare and Solid security taxes for his companies. That's
955
00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:36.280
in the New York Times. You've got Bloomberg reporting about
956
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:38.639
all the money that Canter Fitzgerald's making while their daddy's
957
00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:40.639
and is in the WIT is in the inner circle
958
00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:41.400
of the White House.
959
00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:44.119
Look, I'm not worthy the amount or the amount of
960
00:56:44.119 --> 00:56:47.480
money that the Trump organization has taken in since Donald
961
00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:51.079
became president. How about not you know I've heard, Oh,
962
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:54.320
Donald Trump has increased his net worth by three billion dollars.
963
00:56:54.360 --> 00:56:55.280
Fuck you, you're wrong.
964
00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:58.440
It's ten billion least in this shit up, it's ten
965
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:03.400
billion at least justin crypt is truth Social, Just truth
966
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:06.400
Social is over four billion based upon the number of
967
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:09.559
shares that he owns his crypto three here to here,
968
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:12.159
I'm telling you. And then all the deals that he
969
00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:15.280
has going on, all of the money. Jared Kushner with
970
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:17.880
his two plus billion dollars in a fund that has
971
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:19.760
yet to invest a single dollar.
972
00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:22.400
But Michael, you're not being fair. What are you doing
973
00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:25.320
with your Doge dividend check? What are you doing with
974
00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:28.519
your healthcare dividend check? What are you doing with your
975
00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:31.599
tariff return check? What are you doing with it?
976
00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:33.639
You mean with the two thousand dollars I'm supposed to
977
00:57:33.639 --> 00:57:36.960
one day hopefully maybe get you guys twenty because the
978
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:40.119
twenty eight trillion that's sitting on the tariff shelf, that's
979
00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:43.119
one big fucking shelf to have twenty eight trillion dollars.
980
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:45.920
Every time is in trouble, he waves around a phony
981
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:48.679
check like he's at McMahon at your door with like,
982
00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:52.639
you know, the sweep steaks. You know you're not taking easy.
983
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:55.719
I represented Ed McMahon. I like it. I'm not. I'm
984
00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:58.119
not tying Ed McMahon of the Epstein scandal. I'm already
985
00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:01.440
mentioning him. Okay, Johnny.
986
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:05.599
Meanwhile, let me ask you this because Pambondy and dear
987
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:12.280
Donald are escalating this stupidity even further. They've now announced
988
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:17.559
that they're intending to sue California over Proposition fifty about
989
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:23.559
the redistricting map. The case they've entered. Right that, now,
990
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:28.840
think about this. Gavin Newsom put out Proposition fifty. The
991
00:58:29.320 --> 00:58:34.599
people of California voted on it with an overwhelming sixty
992
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:40.400
four percent approval for Prop fifty to redistrict the state
993
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:45.199
they are now suing. However, you know who they're not suing.
994
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:49.159
They're not suing Texas, They're not suing was a Missouri.
995
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:51.800
They're not suing any of the other states that are
996
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:56.880
actually doing this, only California. So how blatant would you say,
997
00:58:57.199 -->
00:58:58.800
is this selective enforcement?
998
00:58:59.079 --> 00:59:02.000
Well, let's let's just call it out right now. Har
999
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:05.280
Meat Dylan, who's the head of the Civil Rights Division
1000
00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:07.159
of the Department of Justice, if you can call it that,
1001
00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:09.920
because nothing really is left of it's in shambles, had
1002
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:12.480
a law firm. The law firm is called the Law
1003
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:15.960
Firm of Harme Meat Dylan Dylan Law. Dylan Law brought
1004
00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:20.159
the original lawsuit by a young member of the House
1005
00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:25.119
in California to challenge Prop fifty a day after the
1006
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:28.199
election after sixty seven percent or sixty five percent of
1007
00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:31.920
the electorate voted for the new maps. He then the
1008
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:35.639
representative then files the suit. Civil Rights Division, run by
1009
00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:39.719
Harmeat Dylan filed a motion to intervene in the case
1010
00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:43.039
in a case brought by her old law firm. Or
1011
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:44.559
that does that tell you everything you need to know
1012
00:59:44.599 --> 00:59:48.599
about the scandal? Written Department of Justice under Donald Trump.
1013
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:51.880
Yeah, I mean so, then zoom out for a quick
1014
00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:58.000
moment here, what constitutional precedent does it actually set when
1015
00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:01.119
a sitting president of the United the States uses the
1016
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:07.639
DOJ to selectively punish blue states while literally protecting red
1017
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:12.039
states that are doing the same exact thing but worse.
1018
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:16.239
You see, like for example, Texas Governor Abbott, he didn't
1019
01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:19.920
bring the vote to the people. He went ahead and
1020
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:24.239
he made the decision himself. They pushed it through. California
1021
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:28.440
has a different scenario. So Gavin Newsom did it appropriately.
1022
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:30.840
He brought it to the people who voted on it,
1023
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:34.239
and again sixty four percent said, yeah, this is what
1024
01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:34.880
we want to do.
1025
01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:39.519
Power the people, right, yeah, I mean the president here,
1026
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.800
everything with Trump's name on it at the Supreme Court
1027
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.760
level has been a terrible set of precedents. We have
1028
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:48.280
to look to the circuit courts to kind of do
1029
01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:51.440
justice here because whenever they because the Supreme Court doesn't
1030
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:53.280
have their back, We're going to see what they're going
1031
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:56.199
to do next. About the National Guard, briefing is in
1032
01:00:56.320 --> 01:00:59.480
now about the National Guard and its use in Chicago,
1033
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.800
but it hasmifications around the country. As the Supreme Court
1034
01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:06.280
finally weighs in about the militarization of the state militia.
1035
01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:11.480
You know the fact that nobody at the Supreme Court
1036
01:01:11.519 --> 01:01:16.079
level is willing to call out this vindictive retaliation against
1037
01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:20.760
the Blue states and the blue cities masquerading as objective
1038
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:25.239
policy or war power or foreign affairs power of a
1039
01:01:25.320 --> 01:01:26.920
president is really galling.
1040
01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:30.199
And you know when they will popak. You know when
1041
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:33.840
they will whether when he turns on them then all
1042
01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:36.320
of a sudden. You know, it's like that old expression. Right,
1043
01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:39.159
first they went after the socialist. I wasn't a socialists,
1044
01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:42.239
so I didn't say anything, and so on. Right, it's
1045
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:48.920
the same thing these Supreme Court assholes literally assholes who
1046
01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:51.639
turned around and they're like, well, they're not coming after me.
1047
01:01:51.719 --> 01:01:54.239
What do you think is going to happen when the
1048
01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:55.280
tariffs it pulled down?
1049
01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:56.320
Absolutely?
1050
01:01:56.360 --> 01:02:00.639
What's going to happen when hypothetically he I don't know,
1051
01:02:00.880 --> 01:02:04.079
takes full control over government. So I don't even need
1052
01:02:04.119 --> 01:02:08.079
a Supreme Court anymore. I am the Supreme Court. I'm
1053
01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:11.559
the king, I'm the queen, I'm the I'm the jester,
1054
01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:14.559
I'm the nobility. I am at all. I don't need
1055
01:02:14.599 --> 01:02:15.599
a Supreme Court.
1056
01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:19.440
Well, during the tariff argument, I said, if I were
1057
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:21.719
an advocate before, and I've argued it at pellet courts,
1058
01:02:21.719 --> 01:02:24.119
just not at the Supreme Court level US Supreme Court level,
1059
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:27.400
I would have said to them when we were talking
1060
01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:31.639
about tariffs, let's just take it out of the world
1061
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:36.599
of Article one tariffs and taxing and Article two foreign Affairs,
1062
01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:39.719
and let's turn it to Article three the courts, and
1063
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:42.599
I would have gestured to them it would it be
1064
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:47.920
okay for the president under foreign affairs power of Article
1065
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:52.880
two to declare that he needs a
separate, parallel set
1066
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:58.840
of courts to deal with economic issues on an international stage.
1067
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:03.880
Take away power that's non delegable from Article three judges
1068
01:03:03.880 --> 01:03:06.400
that you had, Is that okay? And I would just
1069
01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:10.440
sit back and let the feeding frenzy begin. Yeah, And
1070
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:14.000
you know what they'd say, Oh no, that's different, we're articles. Well,
1071
01:03:14.039 --> 01:03:17.280
how is it different if Congress? How can you take
1072
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:21.159
a core constitutional power away from Congress and have it
1073
01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:24.400
ripped away and given to the president. Why can't he
1074
01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:28.000
take your power to run courts? True?
1075
01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:30.039
So I want to shift for a moment, because we
1076
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:31.719
don't have a lot of time left, but I want
1077
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:36.519
to shift to Virginia, the state of Virginia. If Lindsey Halligan,
1078
01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:45.679
Trump's former lawyer actually right stays and remains Attorney general,
1079
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:50.599
what does it mean for her promised crusade against Komi
1080
01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:57.719
and others over their supposed, you know, misconduct.
1081
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:01.599
Your question is if she stays in or she's bounced, Judge.
1082
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:07.079
If she stays in, if Curry keeps her, yes, I
1083
01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:10.840
don't see that happening. But okay, I mean it could.
1084
01:04:10.880 --> 01:04:13.559
Anything's possible. I just don't think, Judge. All right, So
1085
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:16.039
let's back up. There was a hearing in Alexandria, Virginia,
1086
01:04:16.159 --> 01:04:20.079
presided over by Judge Curry, sitting by designation from South Carolina.
1087
01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:24.880
The issue was Letitia James and James Cobey's consolidated motion
1088
01:04:25.480 --> 01:04:29.000
to bounce Lindsay Halligan as illegally appointed under the boat
1089
01:04:29.079 --> 01:04:32.639
the Constitution in under a statute. The way that hearing went,
1090
01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:35.679
and I had Adam Klassfeld from All Rise News in there,
1091
01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:37.800
and he was outside the courtroom doing reporting for me,
1092
01:04:38.280 --> 01:04:42.239
I would be shocked if Judge Curry kept Lindsay Halligan in.
1093
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:45.599
Every judge that's ever looked at this issue, it has
1094
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:49.760
bounced the the Trump appointee as being illegally appointed, and
1095
01:04:49.800 --> 01:04:51.679
I don't think she's going to be any different. The
1096
01:04:51.719 --> 01:04:53.440
only thing I think she's struggling with is what does
1097
01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:56.239
she do with the indictment that she kicked the indictment
1098
01:04:56.519 --> 01:04:59.599
because of Lindsay Halligan's involvement. I think that's a harder
1099
01:04:59.639 --> 01:05:02.960
call for I think the call of whether Section five
1100
01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:07.119
forty six was violated by the second the second interim
1101
01:05:07.239 --> 01:05:09.599
us attorney being appointed for Eastern District, but you can
1102
01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:11.679
only appoint one. I don't think that's a hard call.
1103
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:14.960
If she somehow dodges, dodges the bullet that you've just
1104
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:18.239
that I've just described, and she stays in, I mean,
1105
01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:20.199
I don't. I mean, what's your fear she's going to
1106
01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:22.199
become more vindictive? They're already vindictive.
1107
01:05:22.760 --> 01:05:25.719
No, not more vindictive. I just think that the prosecution
1108
01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:30.280
is going to become more vindictive, meaning against Comie and
1109
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:33.840
Tiss James and so on. But compare this then to
1110
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:35.960
what happened with Alina Habba.
1111
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:39.960
So okay, well Alina, Well, it's a different allegedly a
1112
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:43.480
different statute. However, I think the result ends up being
1113
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:47.199
the same. Place. One is the interim us attorney, one
1114
01:05:47.280 --> 01:05:51.199
is the acting US attorney. One's under Section five forty six.
1115
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:55.519
The other is under another statute. However, that statute was
1116
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:58.760
also violated. That statute is well, she was the number
1117
01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:01.440
two and then she was elevated to the number one.
1118
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:05.280
But okay, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals three judge
1119
01:06:05.280 --> 01:06:07.559
panel held their oral argument a month ago. We're just
1120
01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:10.280
waiting on the decision. I would be shocked there if
1121
01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:14.519
the Third Circuit didn't support the lower court judge who
1122
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:17.920
said Alena Habba was illegally appointed. Now, that's not going
1123
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:20.840
to help the guy that brought the case, this drug
1124
01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:24.679
dealer to indicted drug smuggler, gun smuggler. I don't think
1125
01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:28.440
he's getting his indictment kicked. But there again, I'll come
1126
01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:30.239
back on with you. I'd be shocked at the Third
1127
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:33.719
Circuit keeps Alna Haba in. I think she's out, and
1128
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:35.559
I think then Trump's going to have to take this
1129
01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:37.840
to the United States Supreme Court. There is, though I
1130
01:06:37.840 --> 01:06:41.239
want to manage expectations. There is a separation of powers
1131
01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:44.039
problem
here which the Supreme Court may end up weighing on.
1132
01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:47.719
And that is this, as much as we don't like it,
1133
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:56.320
the prosecutors US attorneys are under the executive branch. Some
1134
01:06:56.360 --> 01:06:58.239
people from foreign countries are like, aren't they with the
1135
01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:02.639
judicial branch? No, or the executive branch. So it is
1136
01:07:02.719 --> 01:07:07.320
a little weird that Congress had in their statue that
1137
01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:12.840
if the president doesn't get around to getting a confirmed
1138
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:16.599
pick for the US Attorney, the remedy is that the
1139
01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:23.679
judges Article three judges pick the executive branch prosecutor. See,
1140
01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:27.000
that's a little weird. That's never been litigated. But you
1141
01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:30.679
could just see the MAGA six going, that's the violation
1142
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:32.320
of the separation of powers.
1143
01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:35.239
You can see it come and make it real easy.
1144
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:38.639
So look, final question, because the owl goes by unfortunately
1145
01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:42.000
had about thousand more questions for you. But knowing Trump
1146
01:07:42.159 --> 01:07:45.719
like we, do you think he's still convinced that he
1147
01:07:45.719 --> 01:07:48.519
can con his way through all of this, whether it's
1148
01:07:48.599 --> 01:07:55.719
leaning on Pambondi, weaponizing folks like Halligan, manipulating these releases,
1149
01:07:55.920 --> 01:08:00.760
skating passed accountability on Epstein at least one more time.
1150
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:03.639
Do you think he knows what? Do you think he
1151
01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:05.800
knows that that his goose is cooked?
1152
01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:07.480
I think he knows his goose is cooked. I think
1153
01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:10.320
he's operating, as I said earlier, I think he's operating
1154
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:13.159
like a person who knows he's on borrowed time, and
1155
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:16.479
he knows it's almost like a It's almost like somebody
1156
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:19.199
that got a diagnosis from a doctor telling him he's
1157
01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:22.039
only got a year to live. He I think he
1158
01:08:22.119 --> 01:08:24.680
thinks he's got a very very short amount of time
1159
01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:29.800
to continue to implement his and hope that if he
1160
01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:33.239
slows down the bad things like the Epstein scandal, and
1161
01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:37.199
that the economy somehow comes roaring back six months from
1162
01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:40.039
now from where it is right now, that the American
1163
01:08:40.079 --> 01:08:43.920
people feel it, they forget about him punishing poor people,
1164
01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:48.560
They forget about the Epstein scandal, and somehow the because
1165
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:51.159
of the way they're going to change the maps, there's
1166
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:55.039
enough new Republican seats created, and we're waiting on the
1167
01:08:55.039 --> 01:08:57.520
Supreme Court ruling, which is not going to be favorable
1168
01:08:57.840 --> 01:09:01.319
for the Democrats, the Voting Rights Act. If he gets
1169
01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:05.840
all that scramble, he thinks he can part of him
1170
01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:08.920
maybe twenty thirty percent thinks he can win the midterms.
1171
01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:12.000
But if he doesn't, he's ft because the House of
1172
01:09:12.039 --> 01:09:15.159
the Senate will be returned to the Democrats, which will
1173
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.199
spend the rest of the next two years holding him
1174
01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:22.159
accountable and driving him crazy and maybe even not maybe
1175
01:09:22.319 --> 01:09:24.039
certainly impeaching him.
1176
01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:28.680
Well, Michael Popock, thank you, my friend. You make us smarter,
1177
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:31.760
You make me smarter. I hope to see you soon.
1178
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:35.399
You will, I'm not sure. I'm not sure as it
1179
01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:38.920
relates to the Supreme Court. And that's what makes me nervous.
1180
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:43.439
It's why everybody please follow Michael Popack, follow Legal laf
1181
01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:46.600
make sure that you join our community or might just
1182
01:09:46.920 --> 01:09:50.640
touch network community for the sole purpose of ensuring that
1183
01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:54.520
are twenty twenty six midterm elections go exactly the way.
1184
01:09:54.319 --> 01:09:57.319
We need them to. Absolutely, Thank you, Michael, my.
1185
01:09:57.239 --> 01:10:01.520
Brother, you too, And now for today's may have. You know,
1186
01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:05.359
there's a rule in American prisons that everyone learns fast.
1187
01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:10.359
Equality is a slogan, not a practice. You see, the
1188
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:15.600
system talks about uniformity, same jumpsuit, same chow, same cell.
1189
01:10:16.279 --> 01:10:20.439
But that illusion evaporates the moment that someone with real power,
1190
01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:24.079
with money or proximity to it walks through the gates.
1191
01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:28.600
And nowhere is that hypocrisy more obscene than in the
1192
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:33.319
gilded treatment of Gallaine Maxwell. My friends, I'm not gonna
1193
01:10:33.319 --> 01:10:36.439
fucking sugarcoat it. I'm not gonna sugarcoat what she is.
1194
01:10:37.039 --> 01:10:40.560
She is the architect, the curator, and the concierge of
1195
01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:44.520
Jeffrey Epstein's depravity. She is a woman who greased the
1196
01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:48.640
gears of a global exploitation ring, who ferried girls to
1197
01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:50.000
powerful men like.
1198
01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:51.439
They were party favors.
1199
01:10:52.399 --> 01:10:57.079
She didn't just witness evil, she fucking operationalized it. And
1200
01:10:57.199 --> 01:11:02.319
yet yet somehow she is living a lifestyle inside federal
1201
01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:06.399
custody that doesn't resemble the experience of any real inmate
1202
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:08.880
that I've ever met, including me.
1203
01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:11.800
I mean, start with the basics.
1204
01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:16.359
Access to computers in any federal facility. That's not even
1205
01:11:16.399 --> 01:11:19.800
a privilege that is granted. It's like I don't know
1206
01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:25.159
the nuclear codes. But gallaned she has access on demand,
1207
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:28.920
I mean, not monitored in the usual way, not rationed
1208
01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:33.439
like oxygen available. I mean, she's got a service dog
1209
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:36.039
in federal prison, for God's sakes. I mean, you've got
1210
01:11:36.119 --> 01:11:39.560
to be shitting me. I mean, I've seen inmates beg
1211
01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:43.720
for medical care only to be told to fucking kick rocks.
1212
01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:47.239
But she gets a four legged companion in her cubicle,
1213
01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:50.079
like this is some sort of a fucking wellness retreat
1214
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:53.720
and food. Come on, let me tell you what food
1215
01:11:53.760 --> 01:11:57.560
delivery looks like for the average inmate. Brown slop on
1216
01:11:57.640 --> 01:12:01.199
a tray that shoved through a slot, or prepared by
1217
01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:05.840
the same institution that thinks fruits and vegetables are optional luxuries.
1218
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:10.640
Maxwell she gets her meals brought to her cubicle directly.
1219
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:13.960
I mean, in a system where men and women will
1220
01:12:14.039 --> 01:12:19.039
literally fight physical fist fights over an extra packet of mustard.
1221
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:24.439
She's receiving concierge service. Now here's the part that really
1222
01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:28.640
burns my ass. In federal custody, when you have an issue,
1223
01:12:28.960 --> 01:12:32.159
you get moved. When staff had an issue with you,
1224
01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:37.399
they get moved or fired. That's the standard playbook. But
1225
01:12:37.479 --> 01:12:40.680
when I became inconvenient to Trump and his goons, when
1226
01:12:40.680 --> 01:12:43.520
the President of the United States decided that I needed
1227
01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:46.560
to be silenced because I refuse to, i don't know,
1228
01:12:46.680 --> 01:12:50.560
not print a book, suddenly the rules weren't just bent,
1229
01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:55.760
they were inverted. They were weaponized. They punished me more harshly,
1230
01:12:55.840 --> 01:12:59.880
more creatively, more aggressively than anyone else in the building.
1231
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:05.600
I wasn't transferred. No, they didn't terminate problems staff. They
1232
01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:08.399
tightened the screws. They locked me down, They cut off
1233
01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:13.720
my communication. They threw me into solitary confinement. Retaliation was
1234
01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:18.760
the point, not the consequence. Because Trump wanted it, Bill
1235
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:22.920
Barr wanted it, and everyone down that fucking chain they
1236
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:27.439
followed orders. So when I look at Maxwell's situation, the
1237
01:13:27.479 --> 01:13:31.840
special perks, the kid glove handling, the bizarre deference, I'm
1238
01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:36.760
not just disturbed by it. I'm furious because prison it's
1239
01:13:36.760 --> 01:13:41.439
supposed to flatten hierarchy, not reinforce it. But here we are.
1240
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:45.000
The woman at the heart of one of the darkest
1241
01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:50.520
crimes of our generation is being pampered, protected and insulated.
1242
01:13:51.039 --> 01:13:56.039
And meanwhile, the guy who told the truth about Trump me, well,
1243
01:13:56.479 --> 01:14:01.560
I got the punishment that she earned. Is always thanks
1244
01:14:01.560 --> 01:14:04.920
for listening, it says my.
1245
01:14:05.520 --> 01:14:06.800
May I'll come back.
1246
01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:09.920
Oh baby, don't laugh for me if I tell you
1247
01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:10.640
my story.
1248
01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:14.640
Don't cry for me at a time that's trun about me,
1249
01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:16.279
he says.
1250
01:14:16.359 --> 01:14:17.399
It's fairly I go.
1251
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:23.279
If you dance with the death, it's gonna go down.
1252
01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:28.279
Tell the truth. It's now never.
1253
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:33.039
Baby, but your bad, old baby, put your bad.
1254
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:37.880
This is mine, he says.
1255
01:14:37.960 --> 01:14:40.319
My my bab I'll come back.
1256
01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:45.600
It's coming ontown and you know where I'm going.
1257
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:48.359
I'm bringing it on down, bring it on down, bringing
1258
01:14:48.399 --> 01:14:49.079
it on down,
